Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 21: Root bones, able to see at night!
"Ping An, are you going to continue practicing with the sword?"

Mrs. Wang asked casually.

After these few days of mutual support, she naturally knew that Lin Ping'an would go out to practice sword every night, and his diligence made her ashamed.

No wonder the other party’s flying knife skills have become so superb so quickly since he just started using them.

In addition to talent, hard work is more important.

"That's right, I'll practice for a while, stepmother, you can rest assured."

Lin Ping'an smiled and nodded. He was about to move to the next level and was full of anticipation.

The improvement of strength will make people happy.

It will also make him feel more secure.

"You are so diligent, no wonder your knife-throwing skills are improving so fast. Go ahead!"

Mrs. Wang was full of emotion. She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly something came to her mind. She said, "I have also practiced the internal skills passed down from my family. Although I am only a low-level practitioner in the martial arts world, I wonder if Ping An is willing to practice?"

"Of course I do."

Lin Ping'an's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and then hesitantly said: "But this is your stepmother's family internal strength, is it appropriate for an outsider like me to practice it?"

"What's wrong with this? Since you call me foster mother, you are half my son, so we are a family."

Madam Wang's face turned serious and she said solemnly, then added: "But not everyone can practice internal energy. You can only try."

"I understand."

Lin Pingan nodded seriously.

Soon Mrs. Wang began to explain the main points.

Her father was a powerful man in Luoyang, known for his invincible golden sword. The family's internal strength was certainly not as good as that of Huashan, Qingcheng and other sects, but it was still internal strength after all.

Lin Ping'an was unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

Although he wanted to practice Huashan internal skills, those were still too far away, and it was more important to grasp the present.

An hour later, Lin Ping'an tried several times to circulate his internal energy according to Mrs. Wang's description but failed.

No new words appeared on the panel.

"Am I only able to farm Flying Knife?"

Lin Ping'an frowned, and at this moment, blue words suddenly appeared in his eyes.

[No root bone detected, unable to practice! ]

"what?"

Seeing the blue words in front of his eyes was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lin Pingan.

"Can't I practice internal skills?"

"Doesn't that mean I won't be able to practice the Huashan Heart Method in the future?"

"No, since there is a hint on the panel, maybe there is a way to obtain the so-called root bone."

Lin Pingan muttered to himself

But obviously, at this moment he could only give up with regret.

"I don't know what this bone is about."

Lin Pingan sighed softly.

There is a threshold to practicing martial arts, especially when it comes to cultivating internal strength.

Lin Ping'an stayed away from the cabin.

"Since I can't practice internal skills, I will focus on improving my flying knife skills first."

"With my flying knives, I can become as famous as Li Xunhuan."

Lin Ping'an's eyes showed determination. Although Li Xunhuan also practiced internal skills, even if he could not reach Li Xunhuan's level, he was also able to dominate the world.

Because in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, there are only a few people with strong internal strength.

More people rely on moves to win.

For example, Huashan was divided into the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect because the Qi Sect’s internal strength was not strong enough, otherwise it would not have split.

Therefore, even if he only relied on the flying knife technique and reached a certain level, I am afraid that no one in the entire Smiling Proud Wanderer could dodge his knife except for a limited number of people.

[Skills: Flying Knife Technique (Easy to Use)]

【Progress: 901/1000】

[Effect: Hit the target within three meters and penetrate three inches into the wood! ]

A blue panel appeared in front of Lin Ping'an's eyes.

"Come on, come on!"

"I will definitely reach a higher level tonight!"

Lin Ping'an's eyes showed determination. Then he found a big tree about three meters away, which was as thick as a bucket, marked it, and took out his throwing knife to start practicing.

He could hit the bull's eye with just one blow of his sword within three meters.

After all, the target is a dead object, not a living being.

Now hitting the bull's eye only gives 1 proficiency point.

This means that, standing at this distance, he will need to swing his sword nearly a hundred times before he can upgrade again.

Lin Ping'an retreated four feet away.

That is a distance of about fourteen meters.

The night was dark, and the moonlight filtering through the leaves had become speckled, making it difficult to see clearly.

The trunk of the tree almost blends into the night and is difficult to distinguish.

Lin Pingan remained calm, staring at the big tree in front of him, and then suddenly swung out with a knife.

Snapped!
Proficiency +2.

Then another knife.

Proficiency +1.

"It seems that I can basically hit the target within four meters, and there is a chance to hit the center of the target. This is more cost-effective than practicing within three meters."

Lin Pingan whispered to himself.

Although it was dark at night and the target in front of him was almost invisible, Lin Pingan was still able to hit it by relying on his feeling.

When his flying knife technique reached proficiency, his physique and strength increased, and his spirit and senses also improved to a certain extent.

Although it is still not possible to achieve night vision or identify the position by hearing, as long as there is a certain amount of light, it is still possible to hit the target within the range.

As he got into the state, Lin Pingan began to practice attentively.

Forgot the passage of time.

It wasn't until the blue writing in front of his eyes suddenly twisted and new content appeared that Lin Ping'an came to his senses.

[Skill: Flying Knife Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 1/2000】

[Effect: The knife moves as fast as lightning, never misses a target within 50 meters, and can penetrate a foot into wood. You can see at night!]

"My knife-throwing skills have finally been upgraded!"

Lin Ping'an's eyes showed joy.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible energy suddenly emerged from the body and quickly flowed throughout the body, making it warm and even hot.

The muscles in his arms were so knotted that it looked as if he could kill a cow with one punch.

Physical fitness and strength increased several times compared to before in an instant.

A powerful feeling filled my heart.

At the same time, his eyesight, hearing, spirit and perception were strengthened again, and he could feel the gazes directed at him.

as well as……

Lin Ping'an looked forward. He could only see the rough shadow of the target four meters away, but at this moment, it was clearly visible in his eyes, as if it were daytime, and he completely ignored the dark night.

Can see at night!

Night vision!

He has the ability of night vision and can see everything clearly, no matter whether it is night or day.

This is a new ability brought in addition to the increase in basic distance.

At night, he has an advantage over others.

In addition, there are more experiences about flying knives that are integrated with his consciousness.

He mastered the knowledge instantly.

There are more techniques for throwing knives, such as spinning.

Mastering this technique made it more difficult to predict where his flying knife would land.

It's like a swordsman who has practiced for thirty years.

Lin Ping'an held the tip of the knife and swung it out suddenly. The flying knife suddenly changed direction a few feet away and stabbed into another big tree nearby.

A green snake that was about to launch a sneak attack was nailed to death on a tree.

Before this, Lin Ping'an had not noticed the snake at all.

But now that I have night vision, I can see it at a glance.

Proficiency +1.
